Thank you!! This is EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting to know about for a while now. I have a UA-cam channel and want to start a podcast. I just couldn’t fit the puzzle together as to how to do a video podcast that’s optimized for both platforms. And you solved it!!
No problem! Best of luck to you! 👊🏼
@@patflynn Thanks! By the way, question for you: When would you recommend I release the podcast and video clips? Would I release them all at once, or roll them out slowly? And if the latter would I do podcast then video clips to promote it or video clips as a teaser ahead of time? PS: I’m fine to wait if you make a video with the answer :-)
@@kipper6092 i hope Pat responds to this
@@kipper6092 great questions!!! following!
@@kipper6092 Clips are great to release leading up to the episodes.
Starting to offer a video version of my podcast episodes after about 5 years of only doing audio is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It ended up doubling my listeners, both due to adding new forms of discoverability on UA-cam, but also because some people just prefer to watch video and will *only* tune in if there is a video version. So it is kind of a no-brainer if you want to double your audience.
@The Fat Actors Podcast You gotta invest in some decent microphones as early as you can, because you can never go back and redo that audio if it wasn't captured with good quality from the start.
Did you do the whole episode or clips?
@@amiemadeit I put out the entire episode
@@TheAstrologyPodcast Thank you! Much less editing! 🙂
@@TheAstrologyPodcast
Fun question of the day - do you know why Astrology is not studied in Universities?
Because it's considered by the science community as a Pseudoscience.
Thank you so much Pat! As always, you've saved me time, money, and a lot of frustration. After 61 episodes of the Derate The Hate podcast, I am just starting to gain some traction and build my audience. I am wanting to do more on UA-cam and was about to do exactly what you said will do damage to the channel. I will be working on putting together the snips of interviews rather than the whole things. Thanks again, you're the best. So grateful for what you're doing!!
Thank you Pat for all of your amazing content. You have been so inspirational to me in my podcasting journey. Love what you do. Blessings.
Thank you for the great tips Pat. I've started my own podcast 2 months ago and I just uploaded all the videos to youtube. But now after listening to this video I might start just smaller clips to UA-cam to make it more digestible. Thank you again for the great info brother 🤙 #StaySore
You the man Pat!! I launched my audio pod in 2016 with your UA-cam tutorial and I’m back for micro clipping!
Hey Pat just discovered you today and love the information that you provide for beginner podcasters! A buddy and I have started our own podcast (called Parent DisApproval if anyone is interested) and we are mainly an audio podcast, but we have video recorded every episode. We were going to drop entire episodes on UA-cam but thanks to your advice I think we will end up dropping video segments. Appreciate all that you do!!
Time well spent. Thank you Pat Flynn for this amazing content. Just got into the podcast space and I am using my phone for now. My podcast is all about self help and self improvement and I am going to apply this knowledge to this UA-cam channel.
Great info Pat! Thanks for putting this together. Just going into phase 2 of my video podcast project and will be taking your ideas into account. Keep up the good work!
The solution is to start a podcast channel and keep it SEPARATE from your main youtube channel. The podcast playlist can be featured on your main channel page, but don't post podcast episodes on your main channel because that can hurt retention and future video performance.
Thank you, Micah! 🙏
Awesome info
Thanks Pat! I recently started the "Explore the Everyday" podcast with a friend of mine and we had discussed adding a video element. Now I understand why we shouldn't just upload the full episode! I think we are going to think about uploading short segments to grab viewers' attention and link back to the full length audio podcast.
Wow, yet another brilliant, digestible how-not-to-waste your time and money from easily the best resource for anyone wanting to podcast. Thanks for the generosity, Pat!
Pat, this was great! Thanks for these really easy to follow pointers that helped me understand some potential solutions for obstacles i was a little intimidated by but couldn't even quite describe. This helped bring some clarity! Keep it up.
Thanks Pat. I started The Authentic Action Podcast a few years ago, and flopped a few times. I am getting ready to make another fresh start at the start of next year, and setting up a new plan and studio the next couple months. You remain a solid voice in the arena. I appreciate you!
Pat, your advice and tutorials are absolutely priceless. Whilst listening to your video, i was in other tabs, which i guess follows on from the point you were making. I agree, it's not my favourite thing when i have to flip back to the tab or screen to see what someone is talking to camera about, and it can be annoying. I'm not really a TV, film, or video watcher, and much prefer audio, as I can get on with other things whilst listening, or as is often the case, I listen as I wind down the day in bed. Sage advice from you got me started with The Family Histories Podcast, and I've been enjoying charting these last couple of weeks in Apple Podcasts 'Top Charts' for History in UK, Canada, and Australia. Thank you for everything in 2021, and I wish you health and happiness through 2022.
This was so helpful. I was just in my room brainstorming ideas for my new video podcast show and then your video showed up on my homepage, meant to be. I loved the tips you gave at the end. Thank you so much.
This was so helpful! I'm doing a lot of research right now to learn how to do a podcast for my nonprofit organization, and I'll be doing it on Zoom so I can have both audio and video for my UA-cam channel. I was planning to post the entire podcast interview on UA-cam and now I see that will NOT be the best way to go. The snippets will be a way better approach.
I started watching several of your How To videos and they are enormously helpful. Thank you for the advice here and for all your informative videos. You do such a great job on them - they are so clear and give me the confidence that I can do this. They are really a boon. Thank you!
Excellent as always Pat!
We want to do video as well, but we felt it was right to do audio correctly first and foremost.
We’re still learning and making progress everyday!
We’ve been recording a monthly podcast for few years now. In 2020 we experimented with live-streaming it. And while that was fun, we saw three things that made us stop and focus on audio only.
1. We did not attract many live viewers.
2. Those who watched live could ask questions and it was probably more fun for them, but for the rest (listening to recording) would suffer.
3. Number of view the video later got was also low.
It’s points you also say, it’s interesting to see how we came to similar conclusions.
I like the idea with 3-5min bits, might try that, thanks!
Thank you Pat! You were one of the first podcast I listened to and videos I watched on learning how to start a podcast! 1 year later and I am ramping up Season 2 of Go Entrepreneur Yourself! :) Great tips on creating videos for my channel. I appreciate it.
Just gathering information to start my podcast at the end of the month. Thank goodness I found you! This is extremely helpful...you’ve gained another faithful follower!
Billy Diamond here of Billy Diamond's Branding For Entertainers Podcast. Thank you Pat! Going into 2021 my goal was to start adding video podcasting in addition to my audio podcast. You cleared up and answered a lot of my questions. You are always the best. I plan to start simply by adding clips from my audio episodes and filming at the same time I record a guest. I believe too that more leverage can be had by pulling out a topic and using the video as small bites to onboard listeners and subscribers. You reinforced my original thought on this and I appreciate it. Side note.... your encouragement and help to start my audio podcast is why I do it now ---- THANKS Pat!
Pat, a very big thank you. We have been inspired by you to start our own video podcast, and we're commenting on this video from our channel itself! Hopefully one day we can grow and make you proud 🙏
Pat this is great. Our innovation and leadership podcast is almost at 100k downloads a month and we are right in the middle of planning our UA-cam launch so I can’t thank you enough for making this video.
man .. great stuff... I'm a first timer and i am doing both from start :) ... had a chat yesterday w a friend about those small segments to use a promos on UA-cam and now listening to you it reassures we are on the right path ... our podcast is over 1hr long and yes, we notice listen/views are under 20mins each ... your stuff helps... Thanks !!!
Pat Flynn, this couldn't have helped my show in a better way. The listeners have gone up, the clips have gone up and the episodes themselves have gone up by optimizing this lessons plan for my show. Also, your original video about starting a podcast helped get this thing started in the first place.
this was awesome man. I started my podcast where I am basically providing commentary of headlines I want to breakdown to people on but I am doing so to bring attention to the truth of things while sharing my faith as a christian by giving a commentary on scripture. I was recording the entire thing on my phone but found editing that video and then uploading the audio which then I had to listen to and make sure I needed to edited anything out became time consuming and exhausting. But I want to utilize UA-cam as a way to gain more exposure. I believe I will be using the snippet idea that you mentioned. That sounds like it makes a lot more sense. Great content.
Dude, Pat, really appreciate this. I had a great idea for a video podcast so I got some cameras and mics, setup a table in a park, and started interviewing people who wanted to talk. They all love it but what was supposed to be a 7 minute interview has continuously turned into 30-90 minutes because the people find my idea so interesting and they never want to stop at the 7 minutes (we talk about them). However, I'm not a video editor nor am I tech savvy. Im just a guy with an idea and people seem to love it. I've spend the past week just researching simple editing software because everything seems overly complicated to me. To this moment I'm still confused and undecided.
So, I thought I would outsource it. My freaking gosh is that expensive for the length of time of the interviews considering I can do 2-3 interviews per day each lasting no less than 30 minutes but thats conservative. I knew I could clip it for reels or shorts on Insta, youtube, tik tok, etc. and separate audio for a podcast, but was also planning to post the full video interviews to youtube.
This is so logical, but it hadn't occurred to me. Man, thank you for easing that burden some! Truly. I never reply on youtube but this really really helped. I sub to your podcast, and it isn't much, but have another YT sub sir. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you, Pat, I'm aiming to launch my podcast in March. I will follow your advice and include a short and sharp video podcast also. Great practical tip. I'm now subscribing.
I am a beginner, and just now gaining the courage that I've needed to actually start a podcast. I've had people telling me that I should do a vodcast (video podcast) because it's more entertaining but I don't have an audience to entertain and I wouldn't know exactly where to start. But thanks to your video I am convinced that I am definitely more of an audio Podcaster lol
Great tips Pat! Thank you! Gonna apply them on my channel. Cheers! :)
Dude.... my friends and I carry a 4 host sports Podcast with a little over 20 episodes this time being. We want to start uploading content to UA-cam and this video just really hit me in the face. People are probably not going to sit around for a 50-minute video of 4 random Dominican dudes talking about sports, but they may sit around for the best 10 minutes where we really put our debating hats on. Thanks a lot Pat!
Recording our first Episode tonight! Thanks for posting this. Very helpful and I’m now a subscriber!
Very appropriate for my situation, I have a podcast with around 400 episodes. I basically did most of the things mentioned. My biggest challenge is working with the video editing etc.the tips will help a lot!
This is some extremely solid advice
super intimidated by the editing aspect but I do think this is the best way to go for someone starting out. I am excited to start small and get better overtime. thanks again. I've joined your membership.
I’m happy I found this because I was already thinking this and you confirmed it for me. Thanks!
Great Advice!!! I have been posting my entire episode and extracting the audio for my audio version not understanding the youtube algorithm. This is definitely hurting my growth. I’m getting new subscribers due to the people I’m interviewing but not from people finding me. I’ve invested in top of the line equipment but it’s getting me nowhere. This has definitely opened my eyes and I will be changing my approach. Thank you so much!
Thank you Mr. Flynn. Wasting time was the best part for me, it hit a nerve on my psyche.
Thank you so much for your transparency on all of this. It is helping guide a lot of my decisions in these beginning podcast days.
Solid info!
I just did my intro episode to my podcast last Monday, it’s called The Mirror In The Morning, all about self reflection and personal development.
I Only went live on Facebook, and actually tested it live in my own room on Clubhouse at the same time.
Thanks for your content 🙏
Perfectly articulated! When I saw that ever major video podcast had a "video podcast clips" channel as well doing exactly what you just explained I started doing it. One adjustment I made is doing live streams which could be either just me talking or an interview or sorts and then uploading the audio to anchor and chopping the live stream into clips for youtube. Maximize output of one input!
Thank you! I work with a non-profit and we are planning to launch a podcast. Your videos have been amazing so far- we're binging you!
Excellent. Just what I needed to hear at just the right moment. Had a podcast that's now faded. About to start a new one. Been trying to figure out how to incorporate UA-cam into the process while keeping things simple. Much appreciated. I've subscribed as a result.
This was so incredibly helpful. I’ve been stagnating, trying to figure out a good strategy, and this seems like the best way to go about it. This is my podcast channel. I have an audio version, as well, but I’ve been trying to figure out how to grow my audience effectively; and this seems like the way! Thank you, brother 🤟🤙
Thank you for sharing. Very consistent and well thought out elements! A real source of inspiration.
Hey Pat! Loved the tips. This definitely gets us thinking about how to better utilize our podcast for UA-cam. We've thought about creating a separate channel for the podcast (Learn Spanish and Go), but sharing some video clips with select guests might be the better option on our main channel. Cheers! -Jim
A separate channel could work for the full version. Thomas Frank does this for his main show, it won’t hurt but it’s an additional channel to pay attention to and manage which could add up to more time that could potentially be spent elsewhere.
@@patflynn Thanks for the reply! I dig Thomas's work. I'll have to check out his podcast channel for inspiration.
Spanish speaking Podcaster here! Let me know if you would be interested in collaborating! Cheers

Hey @@emanuelsanchez4715! Cool! Feel free to shoot us an email. I'd love to hear about where you're from and what your podcast is about. We can see if it'd be a good fit. spanishandgo dot com slash contact. ¡Un saludo desde Puerto Rico! -Jim
Your videos were some of the first ones I found when researching before starting my podcast(MOAT9). Love this one too. Definitely considering it.
Pat, thank you so much for this man!
Officially relaunching my podcast Feb 1, 2021. It's called "I Needed This".
Thank you again man! This helped way more than you know!
This is a brilliant video! Thanks Pat for taking the time to upload! I've just uploaded my FIRST UA-cam podcast - Talk With Tom Parkin - after many months of worry and procrastination. Always keen to learn more tips and tricks! Cheers.
Very informative, as usual, Pat! Been struggling with what to do with video, as I have narrated power point lectures on YT, stripped the audio for my podcast, then after my class lectures were completed, been recording weekly episodes in audio only around various subjects... and considered the idea of posting more to the YT channel but not sure how to strategize. This helped me a lot, as I'm venturing into interviews, and your idea of creating highlight, short clips for video is the guidance I needed - if I decide to post them, I may go that route. Cheers, Jack.
We, a group of friends, are planning to start a video podcast. Our team name is Seven Frames. And this video was so helpful. Thank you so much ❤️
I think think this is massively going to help me going forward. I started to notice i wasn't getting much watch time and such on my full interviews even though i try to make them last around 20-30 mins max. I've toyed with the idea of just posting snippets instead and it feels like that is going to potentially work better for me
I just found this video but it's the most content-filled and specific about doing video for our podcast. Thanks Pat!
Thank you Pat. Currently enrolled in your PUP course. Ordered equipment, drafted description and created artwork in Canva.
Appreciate the tips Pat I just discovered your videos and I’m hooked like a fish love the tips man I do both versions audio and video and I do notice the videos get a lot less views but I have been doing the podcast for about four years prior and just started a UA-cam channel end it is a grind but it’s fun and folks like you keep giving as inspiration to keep going thank you
Awesome advice! I’m looking to start a podcast soon and really needed this kinda info, I definitely need to plan more before I start it up
This is super helpful! Was recording a couple weeks ago and found it difficult to to appeal to my audio and video audience. Thanks, Pat!
This was great advice. I realized that doing more short form content along with the full length podcast episodes actually helped my viewership. People watching the shorter form of the pod may eventually migrate over to trying out the actually pod.
Thanks for this Pat, we have been adding our whole podcast episodes and they are too long for UA-cam, so we are going to do what you have just described. Wish us luck, oh and our podcast is How to be Good 👍👍
I am so happy your video that populated when I looked up video podcasting. I love the micro video idea. This information really helped alot. Thank you
Thank you for the great solid information. You gave us great nuggets that we can use to build and grow our video podcast business!
Thank you Pat! I was so commited with the idea of the video podcast that I didn't cosinder all of the things you're saying here. Thanks to you I can now reevaluate before jumping into the pool.
Pat, thank you for all the information you put out every week. I've learned so much from you over the past 2-3 years and it's awesome. My new Podcast, the High Occupancy Podcast talks about issues in the hotel industry and I'm looking to take it to video. Keep up the great work!
This was honestly really helpful. Thank you for this, will definitely work out how I can utilize video for my podcast.
This was really helpful! I learnt a lot! On my UA-cam channel: The eccentric side with uche and Tamilore, what we normally do is: record an audio podcast episode, fix our podcast logo and then upload on UA-cam. But I guess going by this, that's one of the major reasons we not growing! Anyways thanks Pat
Big fan of your content, tips & advice. I primarily do celebrity video interviews on my channel (started with rock & roll celebs) then added in famous TV personalities. I started to make audio podcast versions of the video shows per request from a viewer and now have over 100 episodes on Apple Podcasts etc. I find that if I miss uploading one audio episode, listeners are like "when is the the next episode coming?". I am still trying to improve every show, but am very glad I decided to compliment the video podcast with its own audio version as well. Thank you so much for your great advice.
Hi Pat! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information with us! My daughter and I are starting our podcast really soon, so this info is gold. She is a Fitness Coach and I am a Life Coach. We are so excited! Our podcast channel name will be Yap Theory. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for helping me understand video podcasting more! I am going to implement your ideas soon. I know this will make a huge difference in the way we get shared and recommended. You ROCK!
this is what i needed! :D BIG THANK YOU
Hi Pat! Your videos are always so helpful and easy to follow. I have learned so much from your content that I started a podcast earlier this year called Finding the Messiah. Thanks for all the great tips!
Dear Pat. Thank you so much for your tips and advices. You're putting everything in a nutshell. Great help. Be blessed and have a safe and successful 2022. Greetings from Pete ( Germany )
Great Content Pat. It really helped out. Now I've an structered on how to set the whole thing up.
Great Video, been at it almost a year now but we'll definitely use the tips you laid out here to improve!
Thank you very much. I am starting my own podcast and was undecided if I do it as a video or audio or mixed. Now I have a clear view. I am glad that I watched this video before I started.
Pat thank you so much for these videos its made my lifer so much easier!
2 years later, this video is still great! My podcast definitely has some growth opportunities, especially in just getting it out there! Thanks for the tips!
Good stuff! I’m going to cut up my long form interviews to better target on UA-cam. Thanks Pat. Podcast = Titans of Transition
This is so helpful! I’m the host of The Bearded Nerd Podcast where I get to sit down with various folks within the nerd community (table top roleplaying games, trading cards, etc.) and interview them. This channel has given me excellent advice!
I'm starting my first podcast this weekend and i did wanted to include a viseo along with it. This video helped a ton. The clips advice is a famtastic idea!
Love this advice!!!! Thank you! I've always wanted to do a podcast - so finally taking that leap of faith to do it!
Great video, Pat. So many podcasters are going video that I've been pondering it. But, as you said, it seemed like a crazy idea since I personally can't imagine staring at two people talking for 30, 45, or 60 minutes. In addition, many of my guests ask, "I'm not going to be on video, am I?" Your 5 minute or so segments to draw interest sounds perfect. If I have a guest who doesn't want to show their face, it's easy to put up a graphic for a few minutes. Now I'm excited and I'm going to hunt down some podcasts that use your suggestion. I think you'll see my podcast "Queer Writers of Crime" coming to UA-cam soon.
Very helpful, thanks man. Appreciate the clear format - no beating around the bush.
Thank you Pat for this great information. This was very helpful for my podcast!
You've just answered questions that kept me up for the last week. The idea of promoting the audio podcast by some video on social media is great. I'll probably start the easy way, then we'll see. Thanks.
Love this. Affirmed what to wanted to know about combining the two as I map out my future in podcasting
Great information!
I started a niche podcast two weeks ago which I livestream the recording. Keep this livestream up until I upload the edited video (I hit record on my camera while livestreaming) then cut out the pauses/umms/uhs and uploaded that.
They're just 10-20 minute videos but uploading snippets/segments is a GREAT idea. I'm already doing this for IG/FB I never thought to do it for UA-cam (and not shoot myself in the foot with long content no one finishes watching)
Doing my first video podcast this morning. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for your great informative video! Best video I’ve watched on UA-cam about podcast. You answered all my questions. 👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you for your tips on starting a video podcast! I started my podcast Pull Up And Thrive (audio only but maybe adding video soon) after watching another one of your videos about starting a podcast. Thank you for all the content
Thanks, Pat, this is my next step in podcasting is to start adding video for UA-cam. The name of my podcast is "The Last Cut"
I'm so grateful I found this video - and grateful that you made it!
Awesome tips per usual Pat! I look forward to attending your podcast webinar tomorrow.

Thank you! I've been working every out for my own podcast and your videos were very insightful!
Perfect! I just launched and I was wondering about a video for podcasting. You have some great tips. Thank you.
Thank yo so much for your support for your wisdom Pat. About to start a new pod cast. xxx
Hey man, great advice that you give here. I am getting ready myself to start a couple of different shows. One is a Podcast where we have filmed it as well and will pull clips to post those on youtube as you have suggested. Also going to be doing a live show that is streamed across Facebook, UA-cam, Twitch and Instagram all at the same time. All with everyone being in different states that are on the show. So this shall be fun.
Thank you so much! My podcast ( The 2 Dudes Podcast ) is still relatively new and I’m learning a lot. It’s already available in regular and video formats but I will be implementing a lot of these ideas in future episodes to help it get better and grow!
This has been very helpful. Thank you for your help, Pat!
